We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
"Wrong, do it again!"
"If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"
Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)
Released on the 1973 compilation A Foot In The Door: The Best Of Pink Floyd, this track stands as a defining anthem of the progressive rock genre. The song's narrative structure, building from a simple piano motif to a driving, percussive crescendo, mirrors the escalating frustration of the album's original concept. It captures the collective spirit of a generation through its universal themes of educational rigidity and the desire for freedom. As a staple of the band's discography, the recording showcases Pink Floyd's mastery of atmospheric soundscapes and rhythmic complexity, cementing its status as a cultural touchstone that transcends its original release to become an enduring symbol of youth rebellion.
